Prognostic impact of heart rate during atrial fibrillation on clinical outcomes in elderly non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients: ANAFIE Registry sub-cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Elderly Japanese patients with non-paroxysmal NVAF and a heart rate ≥110 bpm have an increased risk of cardiac events. There was no interaction between heart rate category and the relative risk of adverse clinical events in patients taking DOACs compared with those taking warfarin.PMID:36427691 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2022.11.011

Can Warfarin be replaced by non-vitamin K anticoagulants in prosthetic valves?
In this report, the authors discussed the published data related to NOACs use in prosthetic valves highlighting the proposed mechanisms of NOACs failure and other controversial data regarding their efficacy and safety in prosthetic valves.EXPERT OPINION: Although NOACs have proven to be even safer and more effective alternatives to vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in several indications for anticoagulation, the data regarding their safety and efficacy in prosthetic heart valves is still debatable. The controversial data regarding NOACs use in prosthetic valves renders it difficult to define specific guideline-recommendation fo...

Eight pharmacokinetic genetic variants are not associated with the risk of bleeding from direct oral anticoagulants in non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients
Conclusion: Eight functional PK-related genetic variants were not significantly associated with bleeding from either rivaroxaban or apixaban in more than 2,000 AF self-identified white outpatients.

Self-reported adherence to direct oral anticoagulants versus warfarin therapy in a specialized thrombosis service —a cross-sectional study of patients in a Canadian Health Region
ConclusionsSelf-reported medication adherence was similar between warfarin and DOACs. Since suboptimal adherence is associated with poor clinical outcomes and increased costs, various stakeholders should emphasize the importance of medication adherence to oral anticoagulants at each patient encounter.

Proportion of Patients on Warfarin Therapy Who Are Eligible for Conversion to a Direct Oral Anticoagulant in the Setting of COVID-19
CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE: Approximately 52% of patients on warfarin were eligible for DOACs. This presents an opportunity to reduce patient exposure to health care settings and health care utilization in the setting of COVID-19. Increased costs of DOACs need to be assessed.PMID:36373362 | PMC:PMC9663271 | DOI:10.1177/10600280221136874

Incidence of stroke, systemic embolism and bleeding events in patients without anticoagulation based on real-world data in Japan: a retrospective cohort study
Conclusions Approximately one-third of the patients do not receive any anticoagulation in the modern DOAC era in Japan. The SSE rate increases by the CHADS2 score. The SSE rate is low in patients with a CHADS2 score <1, supporting no indication of anticoagulation in current guidelines. In patients with a CHADS2 score >1, the use of anticoagulant drug therapy is recommended because of a higher risk of stroke.

Comparison of primary and secondary stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: Results from the RAFFINE registry
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a predictor of severe stroke and early death in acute ischemic stroke patients.1 The prevalence of AF has increased as the Japanese population has aged.2 AF has been more common among patients with ischemic stroke than previously reported.3 In particular, AF patients with a history of stroke or TIA have had higher risks for stroke, hemorrhagic events, and death compared to those without.4,5 In these previous studies, most patients received warfarin for anticoagulation therapy.

Apixaban for Patients with Atrial Fibrillation on Hemodialysis: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSIONS: There was inadequate power to draw any conclusion regarding rates of major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding comparing apixaban and warfarin in patients with AF and ESKD on hemodialysis. Clinically relevant bleeding events were approximately 10-fold more frequent than stroke or systemic embolism among this population on anticoagulation, highlighting the need for future randomized studies evaluating the risks versus benefits of anticoagulation among patients with AF and ESKD on hemodialysis.PMID:36335914 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.121.054990

Oral Anticoagulant Use in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Chronic Kidney Disease: A Review of the Evidence With Recommendations for Australian Clinical Practice
Chronic kidney disease is common in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and is associated with heightened risks of stroke/systemic embolisation and bleeding. In this review we outline the evidence for AF stroke prevention in kidney disease, identify current knowledge gaps, and give recommendations for anticoagulation at various stages of chronic kidney disease.Overall, anticoagulation is underused. Warfarin use becomes increasingly difficult with advancing kidney disease, with difficulty maintaining international normalised ratio (INR) in therapeutic range, increased risk of intracranial and fatal bleeding compared to n...

Comparative Effectiveness and Safety Between Apixaban, Dabigatran, Edoxaban, and Rivaroxaban Among Patients With Atrial Fibrillation : A Multinational Population-Based Cohort Study
CONCLUSION: Among patients with AF, apixaban use was associated with lower risk for GIB and similar rates of ischemic stroke or systemic embolism, ICH, and all-cause mortality compared with dabigatran, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban. This finding was consistent for patients aged 80 years or older and those with chronic kidney disease, who are often underrepresented in clinical trials.PRIMARY FUNDING SOURCE: None.PMID:36315950 | DOI:10.7326/M22-0511
